ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to identify the factors affecting the performance of clinical nurses in terminal care settings. The participants in this study were 150 nurses working in hospitals in and around the South Korean city of Daegu. Data were collected April 2015 by using self-report questionnaires and analyzed with the IBM SPSS WIN 19.0 program. Significant relations were found among humanistic knowledge (r=0.377, p<0.01), hospice perception (r=0.290, p<0.01), spirituality (r=0.481, p<0.01), and terminal care performance. The significant predictors of the terminal care performance of the hospital nurses were clinical working area, spirituality, and humanistic knowledge. These variables explained 32% of the variance in the terminal care performance of the hospital nurses. These results of this study suggest that the performance of hospital nurses in terminal care settings can be improved by enhancing their spirituality and humanistic knowledge.
